방사성 폐기물 소각로에서 발생하는 off-gas중에는 NOx가 포함되어 있으며 이를 제어하기 위하여 NOx 배출의 재어에 효과적이라고 알려진 SCR법을 사용하여 실험을 행하였다. NOx 방출 저감화를 위해 상업화된 다양한 촉매들 중에서 V$_2$O$_{5}$, MoO$_3$ Fe$_2$O$_3$ 그리고 SnO$_2$를 TiO$_2$honeycomb형태의 담체에 담지시켜 제조한 촉매들의 특성을 조사하고 여러 변수들, 예를 들면 촉매의 종류, 담체의 종류, 반응온도, feed의 조성 등이 반응특성에 미치는 영향을 실험실 규모의 반응기에서 조사하였다. 10%V$_2$O$_{5}$TiO$_2$촉매가 35$0^{\circ}C$에서 94.4%의 높은 NO-$N_2$전환율을 보였으며 열적 안정성이 높은 SnO$_2$나 MoO$_3$의 첨가는 높은 전환율을 보이는 온도 범위를 확장시켜 주었다.

A standard plastic garbage bag which was discarded from Incheon Metropolitan City was composed of 4.5% recyclable resources (aluminum cans 0.2%, steel cans 2.5%, glass 1.8%), 92.5% resources with recoverable energy (papers 23.0%, plastics 15.5%, combustible etc. 54.0%) and 3.0% non-combustible etc. Recycling is more effective than landfilling for aluminum cans, steel cans, and glass. The energy recovery process using solid refuse fuel (SRF) is more effective than incineration for papers and plastics. Incineration is more effective than recycling for combustible etc. 2,068,948 Million Btu of total energy savings and 21,008 $MTCO_2E$ of total GHG reductions were obtained by the application of the proposed scheme. The total energy savings were equivalent to an economic benefit of 422 billion won per year. The total GHG reductions were equivalent to a GHG benefit of 4,119 passenger cars not running per year. The lower calorific value of the combustible materials was obtained to be 1,936 kcal/kg of papers, 5,079 kcal/kg of plastics and 2,462 kcal/kg of combustible other resources, respectively. If papers and plastics are properly mixed, the mixture can be used as SRF. The lower calorific value of combustible other resources does not meet the quality criteria for refuse derived fuel, therefore its components are inappropriate to used as solid refuse fuel.

The systematic quality assurance activities on documents of the safety assessment are required for the safety case of the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal facility. In this paper, quality assurance system focused on the input data including the site characterization, groundwater flow, system design and monitoring are prepared and discussed. Rule for the input data selection is suggested and applied for the safety assessment which is based on the in-situ/experiment observations, final facility design and waste pileup plan, engineered barrier, field monitoring, recent biosphere, and radionuclide inventory. The reduction of data uncertainty will be expected to contribute to the safety of disposal facility further.

The safety case program has been prepared for the development of the disposal facility of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste in Korea. For the development of the radioactive waste disposal facility, this program can be applied for the safety demonstration of the facility and for the safety judgment of development step based on the international standards and domestic development environment. Systematic safety approach of this program includes the safety strategies such as optimization, robustness, demonstrability and defense-in-depth principle which are based on the safety principle and objectives. From the quality of assessment basis, safety arguments focused on the uncertainty management and the confidence building can assure the disposal safety during the step-wise safety assessment.

In Korea, it is required to install the final cover layer immediately after the end of use of the waste landfill, and to conduct aftercare for 30 years. However, the installation of the final cover layer minimizing the penetration of the rainfall will delay the decomposition of the buried organic wastes and reduce the amount of pollutants released into the leachate. Therefore, at the end of the aftercare period, pollutants might be discharged and cause the pollution of the surrounding environment. In this study, using lab-scale lysimeters, the amount of pollutants discharged into the leachate was observed. At the initial stage, same artificial rainfall was injected, and after 7 months later, different reduced artificial rainfall was injected for 8.4 months assuming as the final soil layer was installed. From the results, it was advantageous in terms of environmental management after the end of the aftercare period to install a temporary cover layer that permits the infiltration of rainfall to some extent rather than to install the final cover layer immediately after the end of use of the waste landfill.

This study examines the problem of efficient scheduling of waste collection in isolated regions like islands when the waste accumulated amount surpasses the standard ceiling by effectively tracking the accumulating trends based on the optimum checking model of Keller (1974). To grasp whether the waste accumulated amount in isolated regions exceeds the standard ceiling, the relevant authorities can tightly check during a set period, but this entails higher monitoring costs. On the other hand, if the accumulated waste over the ceiling is not immediately checked and collected, and continues for a set period of time, innovative efforts for waste management may be highly demanded. As such, the tradeoffs are considered to draw the optimal checking schedule. This study shows that the authorities get to check less frequently the waste accumulation trends if the monitoring costs increase or when the failure rate of waste management systems drops. On the other hand, they get to check more frequently if the accumulated waste amount in isolated regions exceeds the standard ceiling and welfare loss grows as a result. It also shows that frequent checking is the optimal choice if the social marginal benefits enjoyed from innovative efforts made to keep accumulated waste below the standard ceiling, are not significant.

고리 원자력 1호기 14주기(‘95년도) 운전기간 중 증기발생기 세관 열전달 용량 저하로 전출력 운전 기간동안 정격출력보다 15% 감발 운전한 경험이 있었는데, 이 기간중 냉각재내 방사성 부식생성물(CRUD) 농도가 약 80% 감소됨을 발견하였다. 이때 출력감소 비율보다 많은 CRUD 감소현상 규명을 위해 냉각재 수질관리인자와 EPRI 피복재 부식모델인 PFCC코드를 사용한 피 복재 산화물 두께변화 등을 비교한 결과, 운전중 용출되는 방사성 부식생성물은 핵연료 표면의 피복재 산화물에 흡착된 Co핵종이 피복재 산화물 이탈시 함께 거동하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 피복재 산화물 이탈은 산화막 두께 및 열유속에 주로 의존함이 밝혀졌다. 따라서 냉각재내에서 방사성 부식 생성물의 생성률 저감을 위해서는 정상운전시 핵연료 표면의 산화막 증가를 억제할 수 있는 수질 조건을 도출하고 그에따른 운전을 통해 원전 작업자의 방사선 피폭량 저감 및 방사성폐기물의 발생을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

In this study, the reduction efficiencies of leachate heavy metal levels were investigated by adding $Al_2O_3$ and CaO to the bottom ash to observe their effects on the heavy metals leachate reduction efficiency. The ratio of $Al_2O_3$ and CaO contents were varied by 10~40% (W/W) alongside different curing time of 7 and 28 days. The reduction efficiencies of leachate heavy metal levels were estimated to be 69.3% for Cu and 52.1% for Pb during the curing time of 7 days. For the curing time of 28 days, the efficiencies changed to 85.2 and 100% for Cu and Pb, respectively. It was thus confirmed that the high reduction efficiency could be obtained as the curing time increased.
